Advanced Manufacturing Technician (Certificate)

Advanced Manufacturing Technician Program Overview

The Advanced Manufacturing Technician (AMT) program draws heavily from the Mechatronics associate degree yet also provides enough hands-on and experiential learning to provide students the skills needed to quickly enter the region's manufacturing industry. Students would be able to continue their education by stacking this certificate towards completing their Associate Degree in Mechatronics.

The AMT program at 黄瓜视频 Community College (黄瓜视频) will offer students a career path towards the operation of electro-mechanical systems with a focus of manufacturing technology. Students will acquire basic skills on the fields of electronics, manufacturing, automation and design. This program is tailored for students with hands-on learning interests, and not the abstract theoretical differential calculus based concepts of more traditional engineering programs. This program addresses the increasing needs of local and global industries for well-rounded technical professionals that can quickly adapt to changes in modern technology.
